If you enjoy walking and helping people, combine the two by becoming a Sighted Guide for the CNIB Walking Group. Sighted Guides are partnered with a blind or partially sighted person for a weekly hour long walk. The group walks Tuesdays, from 10am-11am.
Applicants will be required to complete an application and interview. Successful applicants will also be asked to obtain a criminal record check prior to volunteering.
Successful candidates will receive an orientation to CNIB as well as Sighted Guide training.

Mission Statement
CNIB is a registered charity, passionately providing community-based support, knowledge and a national voice to ensure Canadians who are blind or partially sighted have the confidence, skills and opportunities to fully participate in life.
Description
Our dedicated specialists work with people of all ages in their own homes, communities or local CNIB offices - providing the personalized rehabilitation support they need to see beyond vision loss, build their independence and lead the lives they want.
In addition to our community-based services, we also work hand-in-hand with Canadians who are blind or partially sighted to advocate for a barrier-free society, and we strive to eliminate avoidable sight loss with world-class research and by promoting the importance of vision health through public education.
